CVNE, Viña Real Gran Reserva, Rioja 2016

CVNE

Case Format: 6x75cl

Founded in 1879 by the Real de Asúa brothers, CVNE is a winery steeped in history. 140 years on and the Asúa family continues to create their beautiful wines, since expanding to include Viña Real amongst its many estates. A careful balance between tradition and modernity has defined Viña Real’s ethos ever since. Viña Real’s wines stand out for having the unmistakable stamp of the unique Rioja Alavesa terroir: wines with excellent ageing potential, body, structure and aromatic intensity, predominantly fruity. The Viña Real Gran Reserva is exceptional value for money, a high scoring wine which can age for decades but is ready drink on release.

James Suckling

Attractive nose of dark cherries, dill, thyme, coconut and chocolate. Some salted caramel, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. So balanced and fresh with a long, refined finish. 95% tempranillo and 5% graciano. Better from 2024.

The extremely affordable 2016 Viña Real Gran Reserva Especial recovers the "Especial" mention from the old Reserva Especial vintages from a very good year. Its a classical Rioja Alavesa blend of 95% Tempranillo with 5% Graciano from their own vineyards. Its open and expressive, with notes of berries, fresh blood and iron, orange peel and sweet spices with the oak still present and in need of some more time in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied and feels lean and serious, with abundant chalky tannins. This should be a classical vintage of this wine in the making. It matured in barrel for two years and no less than three in bottle. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2019.
